"Come on, Sosie! The karaoke machine is this way!" Hibiki exclaimed, dragging Sora into Department C of Satsuki Land and towards the casino.

"How much time have you spent at the casino to know that the karaoke machine is there?" The albino questioned, holding back her laughter.

"J-Just shut up and come inside!" The vocalist protested, her embarrassment clear on her face. Still holding onto Sora's hand, she pulled her into the casino and towards the back, where a small machine awaited them. Hibiki let go of Sora and walked towards the karaoke machine to set up a song. "Alright, Sosie, are you ready to do some karaoke?" She chirped.

"I don't exactly know how to do it, but I'll try my best." Sora promised, mostly trying to assure herself than assure Hibiki. "If it's okay, could you show me how to do it first? I'll copy you afterwards."

"Alright, if it makes you feel better." Hibiki agreed, setting the song to one that she personally liked that wasn't of Melody Rhythm's own making, 'Hush' by EVERGLOW, and grabbing the microphone to start singing along to an instrumental version.

Sora sat down and watched Hibiki do her karaoke, marvelling at the talents of the Ultimate Vocalist. The albino was surprised that somebody who sounded so childish could have a mature, graceful, and captivating voice, but she couldn't deny the proof staring her in the face when she saw it.

After a few minutes of the smaller girl singing, the song ended and Hibiki turned around to face Sora. "Alright, Sosie, it's your turn!" She exclaimed, handing her the microphone.

Sora took it hesitantly before Hibiki went to the karaoke machine, setting the song to one that she had helped Sora to learn, "Chou" by Tsuki Amano. The vocalist had wanted Sora to listen to music from the real world, hoping that it would trigger a memory in the amnesiac. But even when Sora couldn't remember, Hibiki reasoned that she at least now had music that she could sing along to now.

Hibiki turned on the music and Sora kept her eye on the words on the screen, following along with the instrumental as she recalled how she had sung the song with Hibiki back in the smaller girl's room. She did her best to keep up with the track, eventually relaxing and getting into the song emotionally.

In Hibiki's opinion, Sora wasn't doing a bad job. Sure, she may not have done karaoke before or even sung before, but the amnesiac had lost her awkwardness and started to enjoy the song while displaying her pretty voice. Hibiki then resolved to show Sora as many songs as she could and help her eventually learn them by heart.

When Sora sang the final lyrics of the song and the music faded out, Hibiki skipped over to the albino. "Good job, Sosie! I bet you feel like an artist, huh?" The vocalist chirped, grabbing Sora by the hand again. "I have an idea! We should go back to my room and listen to more songs! Don't you think that's a good plan?" 

"Yeah, let's go do it!" The taller girl giggled. "I don't think I'm needed to investigate tomorrow, and since I finished searching Department A of Satsuki Land a couple hours ago, I'm free for the rest of today and tomorrow!"

"That's awesome!" Hibiki exclaimed, dragging the albino in the direction of the Monocruise. "That gives me enough time to introduce you to a lot of songs! You'll know so many songs that your brain will become a jukebox!"

"That's...kinda scary, when you put it like that." Sora remarked with a troubled face. "Well, you should go easy on me. It hasn't even been a month yet since I woke up with amnesia, so-"

"Don't worry, Sosie, I won't do anything bad to your head! Music isn't supposed to hurt you anyways!" The vocalist laughed. "Maybe I should show you some of Kanade's favourite songs too! It's not bad to hear some variety of genres once in a while!"

Hibiki ran with Sora back to the Monocruise, where they grabbed a snack of ramen from the Monomono Machine - that was the label on the machine, but Monocrow say that the name was outdated - before they returned to the smaller girl's room to listen to more music. Sora nearly paled as she saw all the music that Hibiki had collected for her to listen to.

Sora spent the rest of the day and the next day reclining on Hibiki's bed with the tiny vocalist in her lap as the two of them listened to different kinds of music. Sora had to admit, she fell asleep a couple times from her position, but for the music that she was able to hear, she enjoyed it a lot. She also enjoyed Hibiki snuggling up to her throughout.
